I wonder how much he charges them per month.
I don't know much about the guy, especially whether he is known for being charitable. But I would suppose in this instance he wouldn't be charging them anything. On the one hand, it's a huge PR boost for him and his company to be seen as coming to the rescue in a crisis. But perhaps, more significantly, if the system works well enough under tough real life conditions, they'll receive many orders from various governments, militaries, NGOs, corporations, etc.I wonder how much he charges them per month.

If you were speaking of individual monthly service, they do have some users, but the whole system appears to be at the beta stage. That's why this could prove to be the big demonstration/test of the network.
What is your new avatar?Elon Musk's satellites help Zelensky dominate the skies: US billionaire's internet system is allowing Ukrainian drones to pound Putin's helpless tanks
Aerorozvidka (Aerial Reconnaissance) is being used to attack Russian drones and target Vladmir Putin's army of tanks and track down their positions in the conflict. Drones used in the field are able to use the newly available Starlink to keep connected and provide intelligence as internet and power outages plague Ukraine. With the technology, the drones can be directed to drop anti-tank munitions to help ward off the Russian attack.

How so?These StarLink satellites are completely ruining astronomy. Whole generation of super expensive deep space telescopes is now wasted and our learning about outer space will drastically decline.
Few years down whole science of astronomy will dearness.
How so?
Do they have lights on them or are they burning in the atmosphere?Light pollution from satellites. When StarLink is fully operational sky at any point of Earth, at any point in time, will be covered by large number satellites leaving a streak on photographic image. It had already started its going to get 100 times worse.
Do they have lights on them or are they burning in the atmosphere?
If the former, why?
